Hello. I'm Dr. Dongkyu Lee, an orthopedic specialist. Calcific tendinitis causes tremendous pain, which is why patients find it extremely debilitating. In the past, when calcific tendinitis caused severe pain, surgical treatment was the immediate option. However, surgery damages the tendon and requires wearing a brace. It also requires hospitalization and a rehabilitation period. Because of this, many people simply don't have the time or circumstances to undergo surgery. Doctors themselves are among such people. Especially if you're running your own practice, hospitalization or surgery is out of the question... Because if a doctor can't see patients, the practice can't operate... Today's patient is also a doctor, running a practice in Gangnam. He was suffering greatly from calcific tendinitis in the shoulder. He mentioned being told he needed surgery... but he simply couldn't take time off from his practice. So after hearing about non-surgical treatment options, he came to see me.
I performed the NewPIMS treatment for this physician, which requires no hospitalization.
The physician said his pain improved immediately after the procedure and was incredibly grateful. He was thrilled to be treated without surgery. After the procedure, additional extracorporeal shockwave therapy was performed, and he is now pain-free with the calcium confirmed to be gone on X-ray, completing his treatment. Any surgical treatment is burdensome. Especially for those who are self-employed or very active in business — if they undergo surgery, their company or practice often can't function. That's why some people give up on surgery or treatment altogether.
Calcific tendinitis can be treated non-surgically without an operation.
It can be treated through NewPIMS: calcium crushing and aspiration.
If you're suffering from calcific tendinitis and hesitating about treatment due to fear or time constraints, NewPIMS calcium crushing and aspiration can be an excellent treatment option.
